Patagonia Flyer Vest Fleece Tops 

DESCRIPTION

I bought this vest as a sale item last spring. It's really grown into one of my favorite pieces of technical clothing. The windstopper material in front and wicking capilene in back make it my choice for nordic skiing and Mt. biking this winter. And it looks good enough to wear around town. The zip pocket in the rear is particularly handy for mt. biking. One review said it's no longer made. Too bad if it was taken out because of lack of sales. Otherwise Patagonia should bring it back.

Customer Service

Patagonia customer service is excellent. Their products are usually extremely durable, but the few problems I had have been corrected without question.

I have lots of patagonia gear. I particularly like their puffball vest and the capilene line. The new regulator fleece is pretty good, too.

Great for biking, hiking, the office and under my suit when its cold at church. To bad Patagonia has taken these out of thier product line. If you see one, better grab it. I wear mine (I have two) to work in the office on winter days, hiking, Mtn. Biking, and occasionally to church on cold mornings under my suit. The fit is trim so its not bulky, it provides the right amount of warmth when there is a chill in the air, breathable (important to me). I lost the first one I bought, other vest where to bulky and I had enjoyed it so much I went out and purchased two more.

Customer Service

The Outlet has the very best Customer Service Ive experience. they really stand behind the products. Even after heavy use if not happy with performance they will take care of you.

I've had this vest four years now. Bought it at first to keep me warm when running during the winter season. But after a while I started to waer it whenever I needed som core heat. Top layer with a shirt and capiline long sleeve under. Or as a middel layer under a fleece jacket when verry cold.

It's starting to look a bit worn now. Time to buy a new one soon I guess. I don't mind Patagonias high prices as there products really do hold up over time.

I got one of these as a gift four years ago and although I thought the design was a bit sketchy at first(cut very tight; not super warm; no side pockets)it has defintely grown on me. I've used it as a top layer mountain biking, a mid-layer snowboarding, and a first layer power-lounging around the house in a T-shirt. The front knocks down the wind; the back breathes and has a zip pocket for your wallet/stash; the collar's high enough to keep out drafts. When paired with a expedition weight capeline top and a shell, it can give you an A-Mazing range of temp coverage.

The lack of pockets/extra warmth make it more of a pure layering/performance piece, but I've found that it's often just the call when it comes to having that small edge between comfort and the shivers. Durability is the usual Patagonia-level of bombproofing and it hasn't pilled up at all. As we all know, the Patagucci retail prices offer a full-on eye gouge, so look for a sale or go to one of the outlets.

I think that the newer versions are cut a little looser, which will probably make 'em more versatile.

Customer Service

I've been a Patagonia customer since 1974 and have had a number of their products that have been absolute design disasters, but they've always backed em up...No questions asked.
